Getting a Vietnamese passport

Hi there,

I’d like to get some information about the upcoming changes to the law on Vietnamese naturalization. My grandmother and my mother were born in Saigon, and I’ve managed to get a 5-year visa exemption as a Việt Kiều, but I’d like to know if I can obtain a Vietnamese passport. I travel to Vietnam very often and plan to move there permanently as a Việt Kiều.

Hello,

Hello, I’d like some information about the upcoming changes to the law on Vietnamese naturalization. My grandmother and my mother were born in Saigon, and I’ve managed to get a 5-year visa exemption as a Viet Kieu, but I’d like to know if I can get a Vietnamese passport. I travel to Vietnam very often and plan to settle there permanently as a Viet Kieu.

As far as I know, to get a Vietnamese passport, you need Vietnamese nationality. If you’re a Viet Kieu (a Vietnamese living abroad without a Vietnamese passport), you should check with the Vietnamese consulate to see, for example, if you meet the requirements for Vietnamese nationality (or to get a Vietnamese nationality certificate).

Best regards
